Soldier Of Fortune lyrics by Deep Purple

Title: Soldier of fortune
Artist: Deep Purple
=============================

I have often told you
stories about the way
I lived the life a drifter
waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
and sing you songs
then maybe you would say
Come lay with me and love me
and I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
echo in the distance
like the sound of a
windmill going round
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune

Many times
I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
when nights were cold
I wandered without you
Those days I thougt my eyes
had seen you standing near
Though blindness
is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
and the songs that I have sung
echo in the distance
like the sound of a
windmill going round
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune

I can hear the sound
of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune

Guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune
